What a performance! 16:59 - Mar 12 with 785 viewsWicklowBlue

Ireland had their backs against the wall. Everything going for Scotland, 3 forwards injured in first half. Replacement hooker injured, prop in at hooker, handling mistakes galore. Then blew Scotland away over a 5 min period.

That is running towards adversity!

Yes Gibson Park really sped up the ruck speed which was a problem until then. What a fantastic box kick too!

Fair play. Fully deserved.

Your boys really turned up the heat in the second half and dominated. Scotland didn't have an answer.

Much as I love Murray I do think he just past it as a starter at this level

Did you see the u20's result the other night?

Murray does bring different qualities to the game and the slow ruck speed wasn't all his fault. But Gibson-Park just speeds everything up, he should start next week and Murray on to see the game out.

I did see the U20s such a quality side too some of the handling in that game was amazing. Albeit Scotlands youth system is struggling. Irish rugby is in rude health, 2 slams on possible next week?

Yep, fair play to your boys, whom I'll be rooting for in the next game, especially as I think Ireland have deserved more far more championships, grand slams and triple crowns than they've actually achieved these last 15 years or so.

Ireland really are amazing, given that they also have football, hurling and Gaelic football competing for the talent they have. I am not sure what it is down to, but I tend to think that modelling their major club teams on the ancient provinces may play a part because it maybe adds to the community links and intensity. In contrast, the Scottish teams (Glasgow and Edinburgh) don't really have strong links with the community, especially Glasgow which doesn't really have a rugby heritage.

Get a couple of scores next week and England will give up. Just a random collection of 15 fat blokes that the girl guides could run close (and move quicker than).

JVF throwing the ball in and overlapping on the wing.

Conan handing off Van der Merwe to go in in the corner.

Healy not tipping off from the penalty that would have gotten the bonus try.

Ryan knocking on at the line at the end preventing what should have been a stunning try
